Itinerary
Visit Giza Pyramids Complex and Egyptian Museum

At the pickup point you select inside Cairo, we arrive at the agreed time when booking; take your cozy seat in the private modern AC vehicle, and go ahead to the Giza Pyramids Plateau.

Embark on the Pyramids of Giza Complex by the accompaniment of your Egyptologist, starting from the Grand Pyramid of Cheops, despite its colossal size and perfect alignment with the cardinal points, no one knows for certain how ancient Egyptians achieved such precision without modern tools; discover how, and proceed to the Chefren Pyramid, where you see the original cladding of the pyramids.

Before your arrival at the Pyramid of Chephren—also called Khafre—meet the 3 Pyramids of the Queens and the Pits of the Solar Boats, besides the Mortuary Temple, where the Great kings were purified after the mummification.

Discover also the Valley Temple, where the kings were mummified after transferring them from the palace by the Boats! Walk through the Causeway, where the ancient Egyptians carried the mummies over their shoulders from the Temple to the pyramids.

Proceed to the Menkaure Pyramid, where the secret of the Orion’s Belt will be uncovered totally; live this dazzlement.

Go up to the Panorama for unbelievable photos with the greatness of ancient Egypt, and descend down to the Statue of the Sphinx.

From the Giza Pyramids Plateau, head to a restaurant for lunch, savoring one of the most delicious Egyptian dishes rich with local flavors.

Afterwards, transfer to the Egyptian Museum, a treasure trove of ancient wonders, housing the world’s most extensive collection of pharaonic artifacts in 2 doors, including massive statues and a giant pharaonic sarcophagus on the ground floor.
